On Tuesday, March 22, the Robert Strauss Center welcomes Ryan Calo, assistant professor at the University of Washington School of Law, for a talk on the way American courts have thought about robots over the past five decades, and what these strange and varied cases tell us about the path of robotics law. His presentation, titled "Robots in American Law," is based on his research of hundreds of state and federal cases that mention robotics (and analogs), and sheds light on how the acceleration and mainstreaming of robotics may play out in contemporary American law.

This presentation is free and open to the public.
